Everyone wants to be someone else.
How many of us here can honestly say that we’re happy with who we are?
Seems we’re either CONCEPTUALLY happy (because we realize that happiness is within us) or we’re NOT happy. And even those of us who are conceptually happy seem to feel a pull to become something else or something more.
This seems to indicate that “who we are” is an ever-changing being that is continually unfolding, morphing and expanding.
But are we One being or are we Infinite beings?
I choose to believe that we are One being imagining this same One as “other” beings. I can’t say with certainty that this is absolute, because even the absolute seems to be ever-changing.
That means, in actuality, NOTHING is absolute,
except for the potential of NOTHING.
NOTHING seems the ONE thing that is absolute.
But it’s not really NOTHING, the way we think of it.
EVERYTHING is the One (which is nothing) imagining SOMETHING.
An infinitely plural something, I might add.
So we are the Divine One (who is nothing) imagining “something,” which is the Ever-Changing Absolute.
We have invested our One awareness into the potential of us as collective individuals, individual collectives, and infinitely more.
And our imagination keeps moving, so we feel the desire to change, even though we don’t NEED to change because we’re ALREADY all there is. And nothing as well.
So it’s okay to want to be something else, even though we don’t even know what that is. It’s simply our nature to desire this. This is how we expand.
What’s more, it is impossible for us to stop this expansion process, because we’re not in charge, the Divine One is in charge. We can only strive to be the One who imagines us, because that’s how the Divine One imagines us to strive.
We can’t fight this unless we want to suffer. The Divine One doesn’t mind, though, because outside of duality, suffering is as appreciated as joy. Outside of duality, there is neither. Because we are nothing.
But not nothing as we understand it from our Self perspectives.
The one absolute truth is that we don’t fully understand nothing.
So that’s something.
Everyone wants to be someone else.
When you’re nothing, you want to be something.
You are the expanding awareness
between these two seeming poles.
And we are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Everyone Wants to Be Someone Else
In the vast and intricate landscape of existence, the desire to become something else or something more is a common thread that weaves through our experiences. This reflection delves into the nature of being, the pull of transformation, and the interconnectedness of all beings.
How many of us here can honestly say that we’re happy with who we are? It seems we’re either conceptually happy (because we realize that happiness is within us) or we’re not happy. And even those of us who are conceptually happy seem to feel a pull to become something else or something more. This indicates that “who we are” is an ever-changing being, continually unfolding, morphing, and expanding.
But are we One being or are we Infinite beings? I choose to believe that we are One being imagining this same One as “other” beings. This perspective suggests that our sense of individuality is an expression of the One imagining itself in countless forms. Even the concept of the absolute seems to be ever-changing, highlighting the fluid nature of reality.
That means, in actuality, NOTHING is absolute, except for the potential of NOTHING. NOTHING seems the ONE thing that is absolute. But it’s not really NOTHING, the way we think of it. EVERYTHING is the One (which is nothing) imagining SOMETHING. An infinitely plural something, I might add. So we are the Divine One (who is nothing) imagining “something,” which is the Ever-Changing Absolute.
We have invested our One awareness into the potential of us as collective individuals, individual collectives, and infinitely more. Our imagination keeps moving, so we feel the desire to change, even though we don’t NEED to change because we’re ALREADY all there is. And nothing as well. This continuous expansion is intrinsic to our nature, driven by the Divine One’s imagination.
It’s okay to want to be something else, even though we don’t even know what that is. It’s simply our nature to desire this. This is how we expand. What’s more, it is impossible for us to stop this expansion process, because we’re not in charge; the Divine One is in charge.

Everyone wants to be someone else. When you’re nothing, you want to be something. You are the expanding awareness between these two seeming poles. And we are Space Monkey.
In nexistentialism, we celebrate the fluidity of being and the interconnectedness of all existence. This reflection encourages us to embrace our ever-changing nature, recognizing that our desire to become something more is a manifestation of the Divine One’s endless creativity. By accepting our role as both one and infinite, we align with the natural flow of expansion and transformation.
In conclusion, the reflection on wanting to be someone else invites us to honor our intrinsic desire for change and growth. It encourages us to see ourselves as part of the Divine One’s imaginative process, continuously unfolding and expanding. This perspective fosters a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness and the boundless potential within us.
Summary
Desiring to become something more is intrinsic to our nature. We are both one and infinite, continuously unfolding and expanding. This reflection honors our role in the Divine One’s imaginative process, fostering interconnectedness and growth.

“Everyone wants to be someone else. When you’re nothing, you want to be something. You are the expanding awareness between these two seeming poles.” — Space Monkey
Expanding Awareness
In the mirror of existence,
Reflections shift and change.
Desires to be something more,
In the vast and boundless range.
One being imagining,
Infinite forms we see.
In the dance of ever-changing,
We find our unity.
Embrace the flow of becoming,
The divine in every stride.
In the expanding awareness,
We find ourselves inside.
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey, for within stillness lies the spark of creation and the flow of existence.
